You can.

Yeah...if you're completely miserable playing for any team but the one you want to play for, then why would you even bother entering the draft? Additionally, if you're that closed minded on how you allow yourself to enjoy the game, why even play?

Maybe if you actually read the post properly you wouldn't come out with a response as far off the mark as this. Here it is again, maybe you could actually read it properly this time?

Personally the issue isn't that I would be 'completely miserable' playing for any team but the one I want to play for, the issue is that after four seasons I was totally bored and wanted a change, hopefully to the team I wanted to play for but not restricted to. Why bother entering the draft? To play and enjoy the game and see where my career took me.

I went through a few AAA teams and got traded to the Indians AAA side before getting promoted to the Indians roster. I was happy even a few hundred games in but I got bored and wanted a change. Your last point on being close minded is bizarre and not to mention irrelevant, I personally enjoyed the game for what it is but got tired of being in the same organisation and wanted to move on. That's all. No matter what I did I couldn't get traded and nobody would trade for me despite being almost constantly on the trading block and at the same time frequently having a great reputation, being on the 'Who's Hot' screen, being on the league leaders board for various categories, having won gold gloves etc etc etc. Very strange that I would literally be stuck in limbo like that, and very unsatisfying.

Anyway, I wanted to know if I could in this years game, not wether it upset you or not that I wanted to be able to antagonise for a trade successfully.

In 09, I was drafted by the Marlins, and made it to the majors with them, which was fine by me. Then I was traded to the O's, which was also fine, except they let every decent player they had go, and I had to endure multiple seasons of losing 100+ games. That got old fast, and I never finished that career because I couldn't get traded. It's not fun to be on a crappy team, and know it will take 3 or 4 more seasons to be able to switch teams. I don't think every trade request should be granted, but it would be nice to be able to move around a bit more the first 6 seasons.

I played/simmed through about 2 years of RTTS yesterday, and tried to get my position changed to catcher to test that mode out. I asked about 5 times and was denied each time (i.e. "You are too valuable to our club at first base").

I asked to be traded in the second year so I could try to make a MLB club easier/quicker, and while I was denied at first, I was traded two games later. I'm not sure if my request influenced it or not.
